A problem with Nvda and Notepad
Jarek.Krcmar
Hi group,
I have found out, that Nvda reads only some words by the shortcut Ctrl + right arrow. Couldn't someone advise me how to discipline NVDA to use me keyboard shortcuts Ctrl-Right arrow did not omit words? Quite often I use this acronym and the problem is holding me back. This problem is in Notepad. -- Jarek

It isn't a shortcut. It is actually a Windowss command to move the cursor right by word and NVDA is programmed to read the word the cursor moves through.

I don't know why it isn't reading properly but are you saying it is in Notepad and not in other programs such as Word or Wordpad or a browser? I suspect you may be having the problem because word wrap is off in Notepad. Notepad doesn't create new lines. If something you are working on is just a string of text with no line feeds, Notepad sees it as one continuous line and movement doesn't work as you expect. Open the menus in Notepad. Right arrow to format and down arrow. When you get to word wrap, do you hear checked if you let Word wrap be spoken and then wait for a second or two? If not, press enter when you are on Word Wrap. It is now turned on and I think the problem will be solved. Gene

I am not sure that WordWrap would make any difference. I have tried reading with WordWrap off and NVDA still functions normally. However, I am surprised that you are using control-right arrow to read since this is a Windows command for reading word by word. Is there a reason for not using the other NVDA reading controls? I read words and lines in notepad by using insert and up arrow to read the current line and insert+down-arrow to read the whole text from the current line to the bottom of the document. Both work fine with Wordwrap on and off! All the best, Cearbhall m +353 (0)833323487 Ph: _353 (0)1-2864623 e: cearbhall.omeadhra@blbc.ie

I don't know why he does it, but I do so to edit inn Wordpad just as in Word processors and in selecting text.

Word Wrap may well not be the problem. I wrote a lot of text as a test after seeing your message and control right arrow moved properly. I don't know what the problem is. Word wrap might as well be tried, though it probably won't help. Gene

The situation is not changed after wraping line, Nvda does not read all words by using Ctrl + right arrow. Jarek Dne 06.07.2020 v 14:36 Gene napsal(a):

We need to know what kind of text he is trying to read. Where it comes from, what format it is, what language, etc. A sample text file might even be good.
